How the School System Works
This document explains how the school system works in practical terms. It is written for users who need a non-technical overview of the core education process.
Key concepts
- Class: a group of students (for example, A1)
- Module: a subject or course unit (for example, Revit or BIM)
- Teacher: the person who teaches one or more modules
- Student: a learner who belongs to a single class
Before the school year begins
The school prepares the curriculum and class structure before students arrive.
Step 1 — Build the curriculum
This work is done once and can be reused each year.
- Create courses (for example: ICT – 3 years)
- Create modules (subjects)
- Define:
- learning goals (outcomes)
- assignments
- grading rules (rubrics)
These items represent the content of the education program.
Step 2 — Create classes
Create class groups such as A1, A2, or A3. Each class is assigned:
- an academic year or period
- a campus or location
A class is a group of students that share a common schedule.
Step 3 — Assign teaching
Define which teachers teach which modules for each class.
For example, Class A1 may include:
- Revit taught by Teacher John
- BIM taught by Teacher Sarah
A class can have multiple modules and multiple teachers.
Step 4 — Add students
Students are accepted into the program and placed into one class.
For example:
- Ali → Class A1
Students do not choose modules directly. The modules follow the class assignment.
Step 5 — First day of school
At the start of school:
- students know their modules
- teachers know their student groups
- rosters are complete
Important rules
- A class is not a subject.
- A student belongs to only one class.
- Teachers teach modules inside classes.
- Students automatically take the modules assigned to their class.
Summary
- Students are placed in a class.
- Classes contain modules.
- Teachers teach those modules.
- The school prepares the curriculum before day one.
